I have written about tooth care products before, and I am happy to continue to do so as I have teeth that need a lot of work. I do not floss daily, and am supposed to, because I don’t have the strongest gums. I do get my teeth cleaned professionally 3x a year (thanks dental insurance!), but that is not enough, I am supposed to do daily maintenance. I am more apt to floss if it is part of my regimen. This unit has both my electric toothbrush and a Water Pik flosser together, it makes it very easy for me to do one right after the other. My other alternative is to floss with my son at night, sometimes when I brush in the morning I am rushed, I have even been known to use my electric toothbrush in the shower on occasion. This is a great father/son activity, especially since this is not a task for my son, it is a fun project (his words, not mine!).
Thankfully we received the father-son Water Pik units (my branding idea)! We have 2 electrical outlets in the bathroom, so we can work together. He is a typical “like father, like son” kind of kid. What that means is, he will on occasion take our adult floss and use it as he thinks he is an adult at times (he is 9). As I said above, my son perceives this water flosser as a new fun “toy” which will encourage him organically to spend more time on his teeth. He has been very lucky so far, no cavities. I have always shown him my extensive network of cavities as a way to get him to brush more and longer, by his age I already had a mouthful of cavities. Does your kid listen? Mine doesn’t and I even have a clock on the medicine cabinet mirror. I tell him he has to make sure he brushes for 2 minutes. Now I have back up, a way for him to clean his teeth longer since he perceives this Water Pik flosser as a water toy, we are now flossing, side by side, and I have to remember, no water fights!
But don’t believe me, listen to the master flosser at work with his Water Pik!
